"Fahrenheit 9/11" (2004) Michael Moore has developed into a spirited documentarian, proffering his damning expose of George W. Bush with artful skill and more than a little je ne sais quoi . Beginning with the 2000 election snafu and moving into the early days of Bush's presidency, Moore lays the ammunition on thick. It all comes to a bitter head when jet planes crash into the Twin Towers on Sept. 11, 2001. Incendiary propaganda? Yes, but Moore manages to sidestep his trademark grandstanding in the name of provocateur journalism and the dawn of resolution. Thu. at 7:30 p.m.

"Outfoxed" (2004) If a respected "news" outlet offered up biased viewpoints on politics and national issues, how would you know whether what you were hearing were straight facts or skewed opinions? These are some of the questions asked by "Outfoxed," an unsettling documentary about media giant Rupert Murdoch's Fox News network. Interviews with past Fox correspondents and passionate journalists punctuate producer/director Robert Greenwald's examination of the "fair and balanced" network and its right-wing Republican ties. Thu. at 5:45 p.m.
